Easter Island is a small roughly triangular island located between Tahiti and Chile in the South Pacific. Created by a string of massive volcano eruptions, it features steep slopes, volcanic cones at each point of the island, 70 eruptive centers, Anakena – a sheltered white sand beach, and hundreds of sea caves.
One of the most isolated places in the world, the inhabitants consisted of dragonflies and seabirds for millions of years until Polynesian seafarers happened upon the island 1,200 years ago. They carved giant human figures from volcanic rock, known as moai, which represent some of the most outstanding ancient relics ever to have been discovered. Easter Island Map
